Sounds like they plugged the tire.

You did the right thing. I learned the hard way. On the first page of the delete it asks for name and email address. Even though you can check "skip this step" and move on, it will not work unless there's some name and email in there. There is another option where you can check 3rd party which...

I thought I did delete account, it was nebulous that it "had skip this item" (new owner name and email address) and allowed you to continue on the delete page to item 2. What should be done for those reading this for the future is that you hit 3rd party sale (whatever that really means) and...

Got excellent money on the Trade, May 20 MY, with 9K back in pocket and 7.5K tax credit even though I got upgraded trim on the I5. Additionally, if you trade in Florida, you don't pay any tax on the trade difference (in this case, zero). Also, you don't have to worry about the private owner's...

There is no customer support to contact..looks like they MIGHT have limited hours during normal business hours. If you've got an email address or chat or phone that I can't find I'd appreciate it. I can go to the store on Tuesday but they've been very unhelpful in past with anything out of the norm.

Traded my Model Y in on an Ioniq 5 three weeks ago. At that time I (thought) I deleted car and account as well as reset car to factory settings. Today I got an email that I purchased premium connectivity and in checking credit card there have been multiple SC charges also. It seems that when you...

Sorry, Just saw this, yes, still available...I'll text you later on today. I'm in Fort Myers, Tom 239 470-3091

Sad, All too common with Tesla doing take it or leave it upon delivery. A normal car dealer will generally jump through hoops to avoid a customer rejecting a new car. Also, after delivery (non Tesla), you can call the dealers service department and easily speak with a human being. As competition...

Great! let me know if you want it.

Yes, are you in Florida?

Never used EZ Spare tire with adapters and lug nuts for Model Y. Local Pickup only in Fort Myers. $200 (costs $400 new-see link below) https://ezsparewheel.com/tesla-spare-wheel/

Hi Scott, I just took the plunge today and traded a MY in on an Ioniq 5 (also in Florida)..What's the current etiquette on including the mobile charger with the trade? Seems crummy for dealer and eventually the new owner not to have a charger but Tesla seems to think it's OK not to provide one.

I had gotten a refund mailed on registration fees also (Florida). I showed them a FL fee printout at initial pickup showing that they were overcharging but Tesla is not very flexible.

Looks different than what I remember, I guess it's changed. Happy ending is all that counts.

FYI, I did aftermarket rims last year and purchased 4 new TPMS which I installed myself. The TPMS and valve stem are a single part. You can not remove or replace just the valve stem. If you're not getting a tire pressure warning then my best guess would be that they broke a stem on a different...

The small trailers tow remarkably well with minimal efficiency loss. I've towed this home made motorcycle trailer and only get about a 15% loss in range.

They don't bolt the seat in, they "Clamp-it" ;)

Yes, Tesla Y has a class II hitch, 3500 lbs and 350 tongue weight. The restriction for bike racks is somewhat unusual.

Here's 2 pics measuring from center of pin hole. It's just less than 4.5 inches. One odd thing about the hitch rating is that it has a different rating for towing vs a bike rack. 350 lbs for towing and 160lbs for bike rack, supposedly vertical stress while in motion.

This morning I caught an ad for Chevy Bolt which states they will provide free home charging installation included with purchase. Wonder if they picked up on the huge negative reaction to Elon's announcement and are capitalizing on it...

I think this is a mistake for Tesla. This is akin to an ICE manufacturer selling the gas door key as an option. Tesla is currently riding a wave with an almost monopoly on EVs. They currently are the 2nd most profitable (per vehicle) company and really don't need to push that further. They DO...

I wouldn't mind having an onboard spare (I do keep one at home). However, not sure I'd want to tear up trunk area as next owner may not find this as a positive. Seems that if you're capable of cutting up trunk, you'd be more than capable of simply plugging a tire and carrying a small...

I don't think 39 bucks is all that bad for a better matching paint and all supplies needed especially on an expensive car. I wouldn't call it a "rash" decision. ;)

@Mike_TV , can you elaborate on why you think it's a good marketing move to do a give away to select customers only?? If you were a teacher, would you indiscriminately give away something to 10 kids (no reason given) in a class of 30 and think it was a good move?

It's nice that Tesla does something positive for a select group of owners. Unfortunately, the goodwill attained is more than negated by word getting out to other customers who were not included.

These work really well. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08HYCJD7L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 Also, do a vertical cut on 3/4" heater hose (or any soft rubber) which you can put over several inches of the tow chains and hold the hose on with zip ties.

Didn't get the email promo offer. Wonder if it's because I'm in Florida.

I wonder where this is?

The Y was fairly new when I had decided on a Tesla. I had test driven a 3 and went back with wife to show her the 3 and order one. A Model Y had just shown up. After going over both vehicles, we decided on the Y (towing ability was a big factor for us). We couldn't test drive the Y beacuse they...

Thx for posting your experience. Curious, was the main screen going blank just a glitch fixed by a reboot or did it need a service center visit?

Thanks for the (brutally honest) opinions. My main concern has always been with these displays is if they will always play nice with Tesla updates. Tesla seems to go out of their way, like many tech companies, to be as proprietary as possible. The post above makes good points BUT, there are many...

Came across this on youtube which seems to be a more mature offering with better functionality than the original hansshow and follow up displays. Personally don't care about airflow issues but am concerned about possible future problems after Tesla updates. That concern has been voiced before...

There's a section on I-75 by you that consistently tells me to turn right onto a small street and then a left to get back on the interstate. This is between exits. It shows a speed limit of 35 when doing this.

I guess the programmers "blue" it. :)

IMO, the Homelink change was an improvement. Easily visible at bottom of screen needing only one button push to close door.

No, I had posted when I was giving up on the swap because I was having lots of trouble getting new TPMS from Tesla early on. I eventually sold the Gemini's and installed these on my Y. Very happy with them. Been on over a year and they look like new.

Surprised he could even find them..Guess he used a stud finder :)

Thx, box is dry, in same exact location as above and blinking red steady. It is inside and it's dry season here. ( I hadn't used car for a week). Legitimate issue. I suspect may be caused by watch for Tesla app which has been pretty glitchy for me. If it continues I'll drop the watch app and/or...

YES! My Tesla app was not open on phone (it was in background as normal) and a message popped up that the Frunk had opened. This was not a butt dial and I had been away from home for several hours. Frunk was closed when I left. This actually happened once before a few weeks back when I was...

I removed top panel in frunk to get at control unit and pull the power lead off. As soon as I put the power lead back on it started to close (while my head was still in there) and it stopped when it hit me as it should. Opened and closed it several times and is working fine now. Grateful it was...

Was at daughter's christmas skating show in another car (150 miles from home) when I got a message that my frunk was open at home. When I got home late last night it was indeed fully open and would not close. I've yet to work on it and have left a message with Tesla Offer on their odd contact...

If someone asks if your Tesla is fast, you can say it's really got balls ;)

Latching issues were minimal. The main reason many elected not to use frunk was due to the flimsy nature of the frunk itself which could easily dent with a forceful push to close. Many decided to install power frunk kit to avoid this.

I've not seen any SC stations that extensive in U.S. Might be because only 2% of car sales in U.S. in prior reporting year were EV vs 60% in Norway. Curious if the government in Norway funds the charging stations? That's something that's grossly lacking in U.S.. We get lots of press from auto...

I like the gas station (two sided) idea and surprised that it's not more prevalent. As far as cable length, the main driving factor is the huge amount of power being pushed through the cable. Additional length increases resistance which increases heat. I found a reference to liquid cooled cables...

Scheduled Departure, How does it work? You go to the airport two hours early and the plane leaves an hour late ;)

I don't think the tow chains rubbing are a big issue. Would be nice if Tesla addressed it but not easy if you want the hidden plate in the bumper. Easily fixed on our end by placing some rubber material or split heater hose over the chains. As far as CNET goes, it's a possibility that if Tesla...
